Another Friday, another excuse to update your playlist. This week’s drop is a proper mixed bag — rap, Afrobeats, R&B, and a few collabs that feel like they were waiting for the right moment.
Here are the tracks you should have on repeat this weekend:
- Blaqbonez & Asake — CHANEL
Two of Nigeria’s sharpest acts on one record. Blaqbonez brings the wit, Asake brings the spirit… and the result is something that sounds expensive without trying too hard. This one is for the drip gang.
- JUICE & LIQUOR — Magixx, FOLA
This song mixes smooth melodies with emotional storytelling in a very natural way. Magixx keeps things calm and polished while FOLA adds extra depth to the song. The hook settles in quickly and makes the track easy to replay.
- MOTION SICKNESS — Odumodublvck, Zlatan
Odumodublvck and Zlatan attack this record with raw street energy from start to finish. The beat is aggressive, heavy, and packed with movement that matches both artists perfectly. If you like your music fast and loud, this is your Friday gift.
- MATTER — Tekno
Tekno keeps things smooth and addictive on “MATTER” with his usual mix of catchy melodies and playful delivery. The production feels light, groovy, and easy to vibe to from the first listen. It is another reminder of how effortlessly Tekno creates replay-worthy Afrobeats records.
- African Girls— CKay & Kidd Carder
CKay in his element. The melody is warm, the message is straightforward, and Kidd Carder adds just the right touch to keep it interesting. A song that’ll probably make a lot of playlists before the week is over.
- COME SLIDE — Qing Madi, BNXN, Victony
“COME SLIDE” is smooth, emotional, and packed with chemistry between all three artists. Qing Madi controls the atmosphere beautifully while BNXN and Victony fit naturally into the record. It is the kind of song that gets better with every listen.
- I’M OK — Pheelz, Tiwa Savage
Pheelz and Tiwa Savage take a softer and more reflective direction on “I’M OK.” The song focuses on emotional pressure and staying strong without sounding too heavy. The production stays simple enough for the emotions to stand out.
8. LOL — Emo Grae, Zinoleesky
“LOL” delivers catchy melodies and relaxed street-pop energy that feels instantly enjoyable. Emo Grae brings emotional balance while Zinoleesky adds his signature melodic flow. The hook is simple, memorable, and easy to sing along to.
9. 24 HOURS — Stormzy, Odeal
Stormzy takes a calmer approach on “24 HOURS” alongside the smooth vocals of Odeal. The song leans more into atmosphere and emotion instead of aggressive rap energy. Everything about the production feels clean, soft, and intentional.
10. GOALS — LISA, Anitta, Rema
“GOALS” combines pop star energy with Afrobeats influence in a polished and modern way. LISA and Anitta bring confidence and rhythm while Rema adds his familiar melodic style.
